Zoe: Preacher, don't the Bible have some pretty specific things to say about killing? Book: Quite specific. It is, however, somewhat fuzzier on the subject of kneecaps.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Oh, I'm sorry. I hurled all over the thread. But it's ita's fault.

Then I think she should be the one to clean it up.

I think my father and I are dancing to The Godfather Waltz. Or Lauretta, which is the typical first dance song. We've got some time yet.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Then I think she should be the one to clean it up.

Good idea. You make her.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I'm not cleaning up after you, Dana.

I have 'I need a man' relentlessly stuck in my head. It's a very worm susceptible day, it seems. I need to get back to the iPod.

No, you make her. I'm not *that* crazy....

And that was an xpost, even.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I don't know about dancing to it, but "Isn't She Lovely" is the best father/daughter song.

Apart from sports, "my secret favorite thing on earth is ketchup. I will put ketchup on anything. But it has to be Heinz." - my husband, Michael Vartan

Since we're talking about songs, in Christina Aguilera's "Make Over" I swear that what she is saying is "Leaving the house around quarter to five/ Tell my boatswain that I'm ready to ride." And yet, according to the lyrics what she's actually saying in the second line is "Zipped up my boots and I'm ready to ride." How do you manage to say "zipped up my boots and" in a way that makes it sound just like "tell my boatswain that?"

And I mention this because of all the talk of boatswain yesterday.

Here's a different earworm. It's been with me for 2 days:

Sometime I feel
I've got to
Run away
I've got to
Get away
From the pain you drive into the heart of me
The love we share
Seems to go nowhere
And I've lost my light
For I toss and turn I can't sleep at night

I should get a gold star for sharing.

Maria, the Marilyn Manson version of that song was stuck in my head for about a month and a half, once.

Luckily, Christina's boatswain is saving me from an earworm at the moment.
